THE WORO "MELODRAMA."
It Originally Meant a Play In Which
M usic Wu Introduced.
Nowadays "melodrama" is in general
use as denoting a purely sensational
play, with an all hilt impossible
hero, heroine and villain among
the characters represented. Formerly
the word kept more closely in its
signification to actual derivation.
"Melodrama" is compounded of the
Greek words melos, a song, and
drama, an action, a play, and was
applied to two sorts of performances
when it first came into use.
It signified a play, generally of
the romantic school, in which the
dialogue was frequently relieved by
music, sometimes of an incidental
and sometimes of a purely dramatic
character. On the strength of his
"Pygmalion" J. J. Rousseau is credited
with the invention of this style.
Some of the so called English operas
of the older school, such as the once
famous "Beg<rar?9 Opera" and the
once popular "No Song, No Supper,"
are in reality true melodramas.
In the second place, "melodrama"
was applied to a peculiar kind of
theatrical composition in which the
action recited his part in an ordinary
speaking voice, while the orchestra
played a more or less elaborate
accompaniment appropriate to
the situation and calculated to bring
its salient features into the higheat
(.possible relief. The merit of the
invention of this description of
melodrama belongs to George Benda,
who used it with striking effect
in his "Ariadne auf Naxos," produced
at Gotha in 1774.?London
Globe.
Sooioty of Poisoner*.
Arsenic has perhaps been mono
frequently used than any other poison
for criminal purposes. It has
been proved identical with the
"wonderful elixir" of the seventeenth
century, when secret poisoning
became so frequent in Italy.
Then young widows were abundant
in Home, and most of the unhappy
marriages were speedily dissolved
by the death of the husband. A
secret society of young matrons was
discovered, which met at the house
of La Spara, a reputed witch, who
supplied them with a slow, tasteless,
colorless poison, carefully calculated
to kill a husband in just the
time that suited the purchaser. La
Spara and thirteen of her companions
were hanged, a large number of
the culprits were whipped half naked
through the streets of Rome,
while others of the highest rank ,
escaped with heavy fines and banishment.

Tu.1..
One must be a genius to be a successful
barber. One is reminded of
the tonsorial artist who operated in
the same village for fifty years and
never made a mistake. In his early
days a handsome boy got in his
chair. * *>
"Shave, sir?" asked the barber.
"You flatter me," laughed the
youth. "You flatter me. No; I can
only use a hair cut"
Years passed?in fact, thirty
years did. The same man came to
the same barber.
"Hair cut, sir?" asked the barber.
"You flatter me!" sighed the man.
"No; only a shave."?Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Opening Knife Blade.
Docs your penknife blade refuse
to open? Here is a certain and easy
method of bringing it to terms:
Place ope corner of your handkerchief
over the hack of the stubborn
blade and wind the rest of it
tightly around the knife. Hold the
opposite corner between the first
and second lingers of your right
hand (if you are right handed) and
throw the knife from you with some
speed. (Jo over and pick it up and
you will find the blade opened. I
have yet to find a knife so rusty that
if n-Aiil/1 nnf- viol/1 tr\ flue frnoimnnf
and?it does save the thumb nails.
?Outing.
Wireless Waves.
When radio waves travel along
the surface of the sea or of any
other good conductor their fronts
stand up nearly vertically. When
they pass across stretches of poorly
conducting earth, however, the top6
tend to gain and the whole wave
front tips forward in the direction
of motion. Resisting currents in
the surface of the earth cause resistance
losses and the waves rapidly
become weaker. This is why it

Science Monthly.
Many Languages.
It is said that there are more
than 3,400 languages, including dialects,
in the world. Most of them
belong, of course, to savage or uncivilized
people. There are said to
be more than 900 languages used in
Asia, almost 600 in Europe, 275 in
^ Africa and more than 1,600 languages
and dialects which are Amerioao.
